The Rocks Markets (Theme Day: Open Air Markets)

The Rocks Markets are held every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. This view is down Argyle Street to Circular Quay. A Farmers' Market is held in this section on a Friday with food stalls and freshly prepared takeaway food. On Saturday and Sunday the markets also extend into Playfair Street and George Street. The weekend market features everything from food to art, fashion, jewellery, cosmetics and homewares.

Markets are so very difficult to photograph from ground level. Oh to have a bridge or mezanine to get some perspective. I like especially the poof of colour from the barrier, Jim. I love this part of the city and the markets are a delight - even though oriented to tourists!!
